I decided to separate the Reeves/Winter image just to make CRYSTAL clear the shows are unaffiliated (don't sue us, Keanu, we have no money), but I had a grand old laugh making that image homage with my meager Photoshop skills.

Regardless, please come see the show!

Heard about that Keanu Reeves/Alex Winter WAITING FOR GODOT in NYC? Well, did you know there's a hot NEW play all the cool kids are going to check out next weekend in L.A., WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT?

Don't WAIT, get tix now! www.bespokeplays.com/home/ticketing

A writer & a director sit in a star's waiting room. 
And wait. 
And wait. 
And wait. 
Using Beckett's classic as a jumping off point, WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT explores the existential absurdity of being alive in 2025. 
It's a theatrical communion. We all face this world alone. Why not do it together?

I'm doing a play. That I wrote. July 18 & 19.

A writer & director sit in a movie star's waiting room.

And they wait.

And wait.

And wait.

Using Beckett's classic as a map, WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT takes on the angst & absurdity of being human in 2025.

So exciting to see backers posting their METAL HURLANT #1s out the wild. I am so over the moon for that book. If you've got yours, pics or it didn't happen! #MetalHurlant

Last week I got my copy of @juniba.bsky.social 's THE FABLES OF ERLKING WOOD from the great folks at @goatsflyingpress.com . BEAUTIFUL. I've already read it through twice to my 6-year-old at bedtime and I definitely got weepy both times. A truly lovely, thoughtful, compassionate book. I adore it.

"You know how I feel about the Gaza Strip. I think it's an incredible piece of important real estate. And I think it's something that we would be involved in. Having a peace force like the US there controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a good thing ... you call it the Freedom Zone."

Read this account of DOGE threatening gov't contracts to force former contractors to illegally enter a building, then read the judge hearing the case not enforcing a restraining order for fear it would lead to an armed standoff, then watch Schumer say "it ain't a problem yet, c'mon!"

Sent out preliminary PDFs of the English language METAL HURLANT #1 to creators yesterday, and....I dunno, guys. It's looking pretty fucking awesome.

That staged reading I'm doing opens TOMORROW! Come see me, L.A.!

L.A. folks! Just a reminder that this weekend myself and a bunch of incredibly talented actors will be reading a rip-roaring play, Water Party. Only two performances, and honestly you should come on Friday because you'll want to see it twice: www.onthestage.tickets/show/bespoke...

If I were in charge of the Democrats I'd have all of them show up to Trump's speech tonight in giant papier-mache heads of his father, like the ones in the Shia Labeouf music video, and just sit still and silent the whole speech. Unsettle him. Freak him out. Give him nothing, make him feel haunted.

He could have gone in wearing a top hat and tails, it still would have gone this way. Don't be fucking idiots, journalists.

Live in/around L.A.?
Looking for something to do in March 7th and 8th?
Like live theater?
Like well-written plays performed by phenomenal actors and also maybe one comic book editor who used to be an actor?

Well, friend-o, have I got news for you... www.onthestage.tickets/show/bespoke...

I'm no longer in New York, so just change New York to L.A. and you got me.

I know most people will say Steve Martin in LITTLE SHOP, and he's amazing for sure, but real ones know the answer is Alan Arkin as Sheldon Kornpett in THE IN-LAWS.

You're thinking of this cover from the special Lovecraft issue of the original run! A classic! Are you, perchance, signed up for the Kickstarter of the new English Language edition of the recent European METAL HURLANT relaunch? That beautiful Peach Momoko cover will be one of the first year covers!

I don't post as much on here as I should, certainly not enough about comics, even moreso about comics I don't work on. So let me say, in a week when I craved something weird and bold and beautiful, @joeyesposito.bsky.social sent me PEDESTRIAN #4, and he and @seanvongorman.bsky.social came through.

Hooray for a successful Tubin'!
